Software shop for WordPress
Your one-stop software sales and delivery system
Software shop for WordPress is an innovative plugin for WordPress which turns your blog into a sophisticated, yet easy-to-manage software delivery system. Your users visit your product pages, click the Buy Now button, then they log on your site and download your product.
Through Software shop for WordPress, both enterprising individuals and small to medium size software shops can start monetizing their software business and easing into e-business today.
Sell via PayPal, deliver via WordPress
No more manual deliveries of software purchases. No more error-prone integration of complex software sales and delivery software. With Software shop for WordPress, you’ve got all you need:
- A powerful content management system for the maintenance of product pages
- Product creation and management, directly from the product pages you already have
- A detailed log of transactions, authorizations, downloads and modifications of product information
- Fully automated integration of PayPal Instant Payment Notifications
- Automation of the authorization and download processes
Which transforms into several advantages to you:
- You do not need to deliver software by hand: customers get their own software, whenever they deem convenient
- You do not need to track who’s been served: there’s an Activity log which displays who has downloaded the software and who hasn’t
- You do not need to manually authorize access to each product: through IPN, authorizing access to key individuals is fully automated
- You let your customers access the strongest selling point of the Web: impulse purchases, with instant gratification for the customer
Once Software shop for WordPress is set up, all you have to do is monitor your e-mail account for PayPal and Software shop e-mails. When combined with PayPal IPN, the whole purchase/deliver process is fully automated, saving more time and adding value to your customers.
Selling and delivering software: never been easier
- Create a product page, and fill in the product information.
- Create an encrypted PayPal Buy Now button.
- Create a buy/download page for your product and paste the PayPal button code there.
- Upload a deliverable to your server.
- Update the product information: select the buy/download page, fill in the path to the deliverable, and its PayPal item number
Once you have a product page and a buy/download page, you’re all set. This is the standard workflow that your customer experiences:
- Users visit the download/buy page, which contains the Buy Now button.
- Users click the Buy Now button, which takes them to the PayPal processing page.
- After they’ve paid, Software shop for WordPress receives a notification from PayPal with the transaction information.
- Software shop for WordPress automatically clears the payer’s e-mail for download of the deliverable.
- Software shop for WordPress sends the payer an e-mail with detailed instructions on how to claim the deliverable associated to his/her purchase.
- Users (now customers) go to the buy/download page, only this time, they’re served the deliverable instead.
Extremely convenient and natural
Software shop for WordPress associates product information with product pages. How natural is that? You do not need to set up an external database, or any extra database tables. All that’s needed is already in your WordPress setup.
So, when will I release it?
Soon. For now, it’s in beta testing. Once it’s passed all tests, I’ll release it under a competitive price. What more could you ask?
Okay, I hear you. I’ll set it free once Software shop for WordPress fulfills my sales expectations. Hard figures are still in the air. Don’t hold your breath.
